So this is kind of a tea note.. I am currently drinking a Japanese Green Tea IPA beer by the breweries Baird/Stone/Ishii! And let me tell you..you can actually taste the tea in it!
The tea used apparently is whole leaf sencha, and upon pouring the aroma is definitely green tea, with the hops adding a bitter, herbaceous note. The flavor is a perfect blending of green tea with bitter, citrusy hops. I am pleased the green tea is so present!
I thought I’d log this for any other tea/Beer lovers to check out. It is unique and delicious, if that’s your thing. Nevertheless, an exciting tea beverage I wanted to share :)

That sounds really cool! Where did you find it?
It was at a local liquor store in my city, Edmonton, and I also saw it was at a local restaurant too :)
Definitely going to keep an eye out for it. Hopefully it’s available south of the border too!
On their website they have it available in a ton of states! I am sure it will be available near you, and probably even easier to get than for me! :)
Huzzah! I tried to find it using their locator website, but for some reason the Green Tea IPA isn’t listed. Guess I’ll have to start cold-calling stores that stock the company’s other beers. :)
Nice! Did you pick it up at Sherbrooke?
@Kaylee – I hope you find it! It is a tastebud explosion!
@Fjellrev – I actually found it at Keg and Cork on the south side, but I saw it was also available at Sherbrooke :)
Cool, I have never been to Keg and Cork before but it’s nice to hear that there is a place on the south side that sells more interesting things.
